In this video I review Netflix's attempt at a live action reboot of Avatar the Last Airbender & I explain why it's actually pretty bad despite being better than the movie

Removing sokkas sexism arc only to ironically make suki a creep towards him (which is very important to him finding himself since it was a mask due to his father leaving him in charge), taking away kataras emotions, motherly qualities and her bossiness (because her mother was taken), Aang not being playful enough and too determined to fulfill his responsibilities when that’s supposed to be the whole arc of his throughout the show. Zuko not being as hotheaded and self loathing as he should’ve been. Horrible changes. These characters just have no flaws or challenges to overcome. It’s all about furthering the plot which makes it boring and feeling rushed. And the worst part, the unbelievable amount of EXPOSITION. Everyone has to explain everything to the audience through monologues. We need to see it through context, not be told. That’s good storytelling. Yes, you’re right. This was some of their “FIXES” we all knew that would happen for “modern audiences”.

Collectivist aren't original individuals. Combine that with the fact that marxisttheory literally thinks combining their ideas with already successful IP's is a strategic way to transmit their bland message. It is always detrimental to the original IP. This is the same with feministtheory, queertheory, and racetheory. Because it is all culturalMarxism. Even if they decide to not spew "the messege" collectivist will always associate with fellow collectivist and chose to employ them. Making a creatively bankrupt system at its foundation.

I’m not saying that there’s never been powerful woman, super hero or regular woman! But yeah it’s the new typical thing in movies now, the woman are better, stronger and don’t need help! While males are weak and constantly need help. Ok, maybe that’s how movies used to be where the male was the strong thing and woman were weak and needed help. Let’s think about that awesome woman from Terminator! She starts as a fast food worker and giggles and is acting like a girl. Then bam, the robot comes back and starts killing anyone with her name and right before she gets killed the human who came back saves her. Give her a bit of time and bam she’s kicking ass. The second movie comes out and she is super strong and tactful in combat! That was the 80’s! So yeah, we had female heroes for a while now, but they had to work for it (like any human would need to do to become stronger)! Anyway it’s just lame what is made these days, from Hollywood to Netflix and even KZfaq…. All about how lame guys are and how awesome woman can be 😂

This was some of their “fixes” we all knew that would happen for “modern audiences” Sokkas “woke” removal of his attitude is the worst about his character. The original show constantly shows it to be something sokka needs to grow out of, and it keeps challenging him to do so. His ingrained assumptions of there being “natural” assignment of mens and womens roles ultimately gets him humbled. His assumptions of the kyoshi warriors having to have been men, calling their practice “dance lessons” only for them to beat him every time. Even though he’s emasculated by putting on the “dress” and makeup, it’s something he consciously chooses to still do in order to learn to fight from them. This completely underscores his jaded concept of there being masculine and feminine roles and changes his worldview by showing they are not separate, and most importantly that they’re not opposing. You can be both. Which is why suki says “I’m a warrior, but I’m a girl too” after she kisses him. The fact that he gets on his knees and asks suki to teach him, and suki says “even if im a girl?” just shows the importance of his arc. If someone doesn’t think that’s great story telling and an interesting story, I don’t know what is.

@@jesuspernia8031 It’s frustrating because it’s ruining both villains and heroes. The villain is not outstanding, so the heroes aren’t forced to be outstanding to defeat him. A watered-down villain doesn’t seem like a true threat to our heroes and they don’t have to challenge themselves to become better or learn new skills because the villain is just so sad and sympathetic, don’t you know. They’re actually the ones bullying him, those nasty heroes. 🙄 Okay, it’s not usually that bad, but it’s come close. Ex: I really didn’t want or need a sympathetic story about the Joker that makes him seem like a victim. What does that make Batman then, other than a guy who beats on poor mentally ill people? Changing the villain too far in the direction of being sympathetic runs the definite risk of making the hero less so. Zuko’s Agnai-Kai (sp?) and Katara’s fight against Azula is amazing because so much work was put into making her a dangerous and powerful foe before she started her downward spiral. Aing’s fight against Ozai was highly anticipated and felt like the stakes were so high because they *were.* Ozai’s ruthlessness and unbridled ambition made him seem like an unbeatable foe for the peaceful, spiritual, and fun-loving Aing. If Ozai was conflicted, Aing would have tried to reach him (like he did with Zuko) to avoid crossing a line he really didn’t want to cross. But because Ozai was so unreachable, so *unconflicted,* Aing was forced to consider what lengths he was willing to go to in order to stop Ozai’s determination to conquer all the other kingdoms and destroy anyone who dared to resist. Netflix’s attempt to add nuance to an already amazing villain created a ripple affect that couldn’t help but adversely affect the story and all the other characters around him. As much as Avatar: The Last Airbender is about a group of kids learning to transform themselves into the heroes they need to be, it’s as much about a ruthless foe who is willing to go to any length to feed his unbridled ambition. Netflix missed the point.

low iq writers. Ozai was always suppose to be a warning of who Zuko could become if he continued down the path he was on. It's inferred throughout the series that Ozai was the Zuko of his own generation. The orginal writers convey all this without ever telling us and most people miss it & call Ozai 1 dimensional. These writers barely understand the show let along the characters so ofc they wanted to make Ozai soft/relatable 🤦‍♂️.

But it fits Zhao's character - he'll do anything to win, even if it backfires on him (like the time Aang tricks him into burning his own ships). Azula is much too smart to even think about trying something like that, so making it her idea ruins her character as well as Zhao's.

One would argue that it’s not “one battle,” but the complete domination of the Waterbenders as a whole. Which is significant, given that they are the elemental opposite of the Fire Nation and could pose a major hurdle, especially if they combined their forces with the Earth Kingdom, something they hadn’t committed to, yet. That said, this would have had drastic consequences that would have thrown the entire planet into chaos, down the line. It is absolutely insane and arrogant of Zhao to believe he can control or kill the Moon Spirit and think that the Fire Nation wouldn’t feel that impact.

I agree with everything said. I describe everything wrong with the show's new altered story as the "sticky note" method of writing. Imagine all the characters, plot lines, world building, conflicts, etc. as individual sticky notes on a wall that are arranged in sequence according to the original animated series. Basically the writers decided to shuffle and layer a bunch of these sticky notes together to rearrange them, while giving off the illusion that they maintained the original stories structure. Unfortunately, yeah, the showrunners don't get why the series was sequenced the way that it was. Show-Don't-Tell was absurdly not understood by these new writers. For example, with the Hei Bai story, another big part of that plot is that Hei Bai is terrorizing the local village, he kidnaps Sokka after retreating during the first fight, and that's what leads Aang to the Spirit World. AND that leads to Aang meeting Roku's dragon and learning that he has to find the Fire Temple. In contrast, the showrunners have Katara and Sokka get "accidentally" dragged into the Spirit World with Aang while investigating the forest. So you can see how this new series doesn't understand how the stakes from the original series build ontop of one another.

7:57 This is as far as I got before I realized that I was correct to assume the worst when the original show runners left. Azula may have actual mental disorders but a part of why she is the way she is was because Ozai rewarded it. He put her in positions of power and let her work with impunity because she was his pride and joy. She mirrored the twisted, violent, and ambitious mind of her father and it really did seem like such a… wholesome?… kind of villain child relationship. By making Azula second fiddle you undercut not only her presence in the story, her open intimidation factor as the next generation of danger, but also her role in Zuko’s life. His little sister was always mocking him, berating him, beating him at literally everything, and when it came time for his banishment, there were those that continued to look down on him as a humiliation to his family. Not just for the scar but because he was the only apple that fell far from the tree. By flipping that one dynamic alone you ruin two characters completely.

Like sure, we don't see their math scores, but Azula is shown at EVERY turn to just be BETTER than Zuko. Hell, she and her group of 2 other people finessed ALL the Kyoshi warriors in straight combat, and Azula shows she is VERY skilled at just straight combat, even if she holds her bending back. Suki came at her with a sword and Azula just slapped that shit away. Again, this is what their FATHER said TO Zuko. Azula was born lucky, Zuko was lucky to be born. He is considered a failure, worthless, he was banished for speaking out of turn, Ozai was just LOOKING for a chance to get rid of him. If you're good at everything BUT firebending, you don't GET that reaction from your father and the RULER of your country. That's Zuko's journey. He SUCKS. He's a LOSER. He's the DREGS of the fire nation. Iroh has him practicing FUNDAMENTALS in episode one. At SIXTEEN. He's incredibly weak as a bender and over the course of his journey he grows and becomes powerful, but he also becomes a better person.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one! No Remake,Reboot, or Reimagine will ever live up to the original. The best anyone can hope for “is as good”, which it isn’t. Plus EVERY show today has “modern” undertones. It’s either heavy handed or subtle, and I’m just over it period. THIS IS WHY EVERYONE IS WATCHING OLDER SHOWS AND NOT THE NEW CRAP

Animation has freedom to use over top character emotion and actions that are uncanny when used in live action so must be dialed back. When that is dialed back, something is lost that was an important factor in making the animated story so popular. When it comes to costuming, IMO, it is important to not copy the animation directly but to capture the spirit of the costume. Take for example Captain America. Marvel nailed it making his movie costume have the spirit of the comics, but not be spandex. The Ahsoka show however I feel was held back by making the costumes mimic the cartoon far too much. Cartoony costumes and behaviors make any serious tone very difficult to pull off in live action.

Uncle Iroh was voiced by Mako, who passed away recently. Mako was in live-action films before Avatar; you might know him from Conan the Barbarian where he holds his own against James Vader Jones.

You're spot on with this review, I said the same things when I was watching it. One more thing I'd touch on that the live action didn't hit was the music. The animation had some of the best soundtracks ever, even ambient sounds were way better in the animation. During the Bluespirit episode there wasn't much dialogue, but the ambient sound was so good in the animation, the live action had nothing for ambience.

It’s a typical incompetently written story (Netflix production) with an ATLA mask on it. The story has benchmarks and an end goal, but no meticulous passion for the character development. It’s boring, rushed, and disloyal to the original series. That’s my final stance on it and no amount of beautiful CGI or character appearance likeness can change a horribly written story.

I disagree with animation not needing a live action adaptation. It creates a larger audience that way and it gets more exposure. That was literally Echiro Oda's goal for making live action one piece so that it could reach a larger audience.
@fafnir97
@fafnir97 29 күн бұрын
Yeah, but that's a terrible idea. This is the same line of thinking that caused the dumbing down of properties like the MCU and the game of MtG. Yeah, you may have a 'bigger audience', but at what cost? You sacrificed the integrity of the property and radically changed what it was, just to chase more money. And now the product is a shell of its former self, all because you were chasing the lowest common denominator. The bottom line of what I'm saying is that chasing excess money usually leads to unnecessarily compromising the vision of the art, devaluing it in the process. It is ok to have a product that is not for everyone; we all like different things. And that's the true meaning of diversity.

I don't plan on watching it, and from what I'm understanding in this video they haven't concluded the story. So it sounds like they crammed the first 2 books (40 episodes) into 8 episodes! That's ridiculous! I understand the run times are longer in the Netflix series but still it's not enough to showcase all the important moments in the first 2 books. How does Netflix STILL not understand how to adapt these mediums properly?

Apparently, some people in the original cast of the series wanted the new cast for the Netflix series to do their own thing and not make it a copy paste thing. I get that, but this is just too much. You don’t have to make huge changes just for the sake of it to not steal your friend’s homework, so to speak. You can make small changes and stay true to the original at the same time. I don’t think it’s anywhere near as hard as everyone’s making it out to be.

In the Hei Bai episode, they also kind of do the Banyan tree swamp with Katara and Sokka having visions (in the spirit world - where they should never be! - instead of in the swamp). And they have Wan Shi Tong from the library in there, and Zhao reading about the moon spirit in Roku's temple, so I think it's safe to say we won't get the library or cactus juice or abduction of Appa either. It worries me for season 2. They also completely skipped the Solstice and turned Roku into a dolt.
